Okay, I've decided to keep a thread where you guys can either laugh hysterically at my blowing $40 or enjoy me attempting to grow the money long-term. I opened an account on Bodog (as you all seem to recommend it, and they sponsor this site). They have a 10% deposit bonus going, so I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY FIRST PROFIT! $40 down became $44.00 to bet with!

After Carwin showed up looking doughy at the weigh-ins, I've decided to lay on UberMir. If he was able to counter Cheik Zaire and drop him, he's going to do the same against Carwin, who will have a shorter reach and be noticeably slower.

$6.00 on UberMir at -155 to win $4.00

I wanted to bet on GSP, but the odds are too long, and I ain't dumping my last $22.00 to win $2.96. The guy was a 8:1 favorite over Serra, and look what happened there. Instead, I like Matt Brown over The Big Dog, who is looking like "The Incredible Shrinking Dog."

BTW: Frank Mir and Randy Couture are the only fighters I absolutely loathe. If Mir loses, I will be celebrating the loss of my six bucks. Hopefully I'm a shitty gambler (as appears to be the case) and I've reverse-jinxed him.

Well, other than the $7 I have on the MEATHEAD EXPRESS, I'm down to $11. So I'm going to follow the "Utah doesn't know shit but thinks this is solid" Rule: MMA is changing, always bet the new blood against the old.

$2 on Demian Maia at +600 to win $12. Do I think Maia will win? No. But at +600, I'm betting. Unlike GSP/Hardy, at least Maia is a legitimate threat, someone with the ability to finish the fight regardless of the scorecards.

Okay, two more bets for UFC 114, and I will provide my obviously flawed logic to both bets:

Michael "Pillowfists" Bisping vs Dan Miller$2 on Dan Miller at +135 to win $2.70Why? Miller has a granite chin, and Bisping hits like a bitch. Miller can finish Bisping on the ground from the top or the bottom, and although clearly an inferior striker, has more power in his hands (and we saw how that worked out for Hendo). Plus, I fucking hate Michael Bisping. All the good will he had earned with his Princess Bride quote on the show is gone.

Diego Sanchez vs John Hathaway$6 on Diego at -200 to win $3Almost a "gimme" fight for Diego, and I bet this to cover any loss on either of the two above fights. Hopefully I get Diego and either of the two underdogs I bet to turn a profit on the event.
